The draft foreign investment law, which is set for a vote by the country's top legislature on March 15, has been the centerpiece legislation of this year’s two sessions as it is widely regarded as a new chapter in China’s opening-up.

The proposed legislation, more focused on the promotion and protection of foreign investment, will provide confidence to foreign investors, Liao Fan, a professor of law at the Institute of International Law, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said.

In this exclusive interview, an episode of China Daily's two sessions special coverage answering questions put forward by outlets from more than 20 countries, Liao shares his view on the draft law's benefits on boosting foreign investment and how China's further opening-up would bring opportunities to foreign investors.
